Being autistic and finally getting out into the "real world," I've realized something that I should have realized years ago.
I'm not the one with "communication problems." Neurotypicals are the ones with communication problems. (Roughly quoted from some dude on tumblr)
If I want something to happen, I say it outright. But when it comes to 99% of the neurotypical people I know, if they want something to happen, they will say something vaguely related in the most obtuse way possible, expect me, a person who takes things literally by nature, to understand what they want me to do, and then get mad at me when I don't do it.
I have just realized that a bad interaction I had with one of my teachers, who I actually liked and respected, happened exactly because of this. And what I should have said to them at the time was this: if you don't understand or are unwilling to understand how I take in information, you have no right to be placed in charge of teaching me.
